I put a hair clip in that matches and that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2543077 Fri, 06 May 2016 11:29:10 +0000 BeachMama 2543077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pwnstar: omg I wish I could braid hair like that!</p> <p>DD's hair is very fine so it tangles easily and she hates having it brushed. The fanciest thing I do is put it in a simple braid/pony tail. Otherwise it's down, in a pony, or a clip in front. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542829 Fri, 06 May 2016 07:17:35 +0000 MrsSRS 2542829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 30 seconds. For DS brushing is optional. DD often gets a barrette or a mini ponytail sticking straight up :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542828 Fri, 06 May 2016 07:17:28 +0000 pwnstar 2542828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Thanks! Our routine is to do her hair in the morning when she's eating breakfast. Some days she asks for something specific (braids are her usual choice), and other days she just lets me do whatever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542795 Fri, 06 May 2016 05:27:36 +0000 Cherrybee 2542795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep E's short, in a bob, because she hates me messing with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542747 Thu, 05 May 2016 21:49:44 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2542747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 will only let me put it in a high pony or a half pony. She will let her teachers, cousins, babysitters, etc braid it, but not me. At least she lets me put in hair bows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542600 Thu, 05 May 2016 19:16:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 2542600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very little and it depends on what she wants. Some days she doesn't want me to brush it and i have enough battles to fight so whatever. Sometimes she wants a bow or pony or whatever. </p> <p>@Mamaof2: @Anagram: hers is curly and I often brush it dry. I know I shouldn't but she doesn't want me to wet it and it gets almost matted in the back and needs to be combed out. So dry brush it is. It looks best when I just brush it right after bath and that's it but it gets so messy while she sleeps. </p> <p>@pwnstar: that's amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542590 Thu, 05 May 2016 19:08:39 +0000 petitenoisette 2542590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO's hair is pretty long for 14 months (I think?) and the back was getting all knotted so I finally bought some detangler and will give her a quick comb in the am. And then she gets a clip because otherwise it falls in her face. For a while she left the clips alone but she rips them out sometimes now, thankfully not too much hair comes with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542589 Thu, 05 May 2016 19:08:21 +0000 sandy 2542589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a lot but it's mostly out of laziness on my part. Every once in awhile I'll braid it but I think her hair looks nice down so most of the time I just brush it with detangler and usually tie it on one side to keep her hair out of her face </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542577 Thu, 05 May 2016 19:00:06 +0000 Boogs 2542577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have boys, so I feel like I have it easier. If we have nothing going on, they don't get their hair combed. If we have somewhere to be, or the oldest has school, then we comb their hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542493 Thu, 05 May 2016 17:44:03 +0000 PurplePeony 2542493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Little to none. She doesn't like it and I'm not about to push it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542488 Thu, 05 May 2016 17:37:24 +0000 pwnstar 2542488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542447 Thu, 05 May 2016 16:52:56 +0000 youboots 2542447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brushed her hair for the first time today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542440 Thu, 05 May 2016 16:43:58 +0000 Bluebonnet 2542440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in process of growing out LO's bangs. So everyday I pull at least part of her hair back to keep it out of her face. She has really fine hair, so nothing stays well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542434 Thu, 05 May 2016 16:35:57 +0000 chopsuey 2542434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pwnstar: love her braids! </p> <p>I usually put DD's hair half up, in a ponytail or pigtails.. very little effort :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542426 Thu, 05 May 2016 16:31:52 +0000 mrsjazz 2542426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because of her hair type and length I put a lot of effort into her hair. I normally spend 2-3 hours on Sundays doing her hair for the week in cornrows or twists. If I don't have time she wears her fro but that takes work in the mornings so I prefer more protective hairstyles that can last 2-5 days and through naps and just being a kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542393 Thu, 05 May 2016 15:50:42 +0000 mediagirl 2542393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not allowed to do anything except one small braid on the side of her head. She will only wear her hair in a ponytail if we are at the pool or beach. Damn picky child... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542386 Thu, 05 May 2016 15:46:24 +0000 caterw 2542386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD absolutely hates getting her hair done, so I usually put the front part in a little side ponytail or put a bow on the side to get her bangs out of her face. I am trying to grow her bangs out so she can tuck her hair behind her ear or put her hair all the way up in a ponytail. I can't wait for her to develop more patience with hairstyling so I can do french braids and updos on her!! I do them on myself often, so I wouldn't mind the time commitment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542320 Thu, 05 May 2016 14:37:32 +0000 MoonMoon 2542320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of effort at bath time to condition and detangle it (he has long, fairly curly hair). But day to day, not much, usually wears it down or up in a ponytail/bun and we're good to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542312 Thu, 05 May 2016 14:29:51 +0000 pwnstar 2542312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her hair is almost always in braids of some kind--they stay in all day, through naps, carpet angels, you name it (this pic is post nap)!</p> <p>[attach=6626/16/o6py5r.450x600.image.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542306 Thu, 05 May 2016 14:19:41 +0000 fancyfunction 2542306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not much unfortunately. I usually just put it half up/down but would like to experiment with braids and things. She had her dance recital rehearsal yesterday and let me put it in a bun so I think that's progress 😉</p> <p>[attach=3567/16/o6pxot.600x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542247 Thu, 05 May 2016 13:41:01 +0000 avivoca 2542247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: @Mamaof2: I always brush H's curly hair dry. Mine is a different kind of curly and I never brush it (always comb it), but hers settle down into their natural curl after a few minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542239 Thu, 05 May 2016 13:37:46 +0000 Mamaof2 2542239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: haha I am constantly telling my DH you cant brush her curly hair dry!!! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542237 Thu, 05 May 2016 13:36:44 +0000 Adira 2542237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two boys and we don't put in an effort into it. Sometimes Xander will wake up with serious bedhead, so we might try getting it to lay flat, but we don't spent more than five seconds on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542219 Thu, 05 May 2016 13:26:30 +0000 Anagram 2542219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Minimal effort--my LO has medium curls, so I wet it with a brush each morning (otherwise her hair looks like a lion's mane when she wakes up), and then I use a touch of Miss Jessie's Multicultural curls on it, and stick a hair bow on one side to pin back her bangs.</p> <p>HOWEVER, my husband just brushes it DRY (the horrors), so half the time she looks like a hot mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542070 Thu, 05 May 2016 11:19:41 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2542070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None!

I brush it and may do a simple ponytail, but usually nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2542038 Thu, 05 May 2016 10:55:10 +0000 anonysquire 2542038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No effort. If I put in a pony or clip she rips it out. She still is working on growing her hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2541923 Thu, 05 May 2016 09:24:22 +0000 avivoca 2541923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most days, it gets brushed and put in a small pony up top. That's all I have the energy for. She hates having her hair combed/brushed and I'm not giving her screen time just so she will sit still and not cry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-your-los-hair#post-2541918 Thu, 05 May 2016 09:10:26 +0000 MamaG 2541918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both girls hair every morning. The 18 month old gets high piggies with the back being down. The older, I try to keep her hair out of her face. It's often in pigtails as well. Today she had pig tails and then I braided each. The older kid's hair takes longer, it's about to her bottom. </p>
